The Bunch do Halloween, a Birthday, and Thanksgiving

No, this is not a Halloween photo, but that required the TB and what can I say......I'm lazy, so enjoy a Christmas picture.

Okay, I promise my first resolution in the New Year will be to update more regularly. It never feels like it has been as long as it has. First things first. The kids decided that they rather do door to door trick or treating this year instead of our church's Fall Festival. The church for the first time was doing a trunk or treat instead of their typical festival. However, the kids use the opportunity of Halloween to stock up on candy for the rest of the year. They feel that door to door trick or treating yields better results. I got T a pirate costume that he was just adorable in, but since the girls are older I made them an offer. I could either buy them a new Halloween costume or they could go as something we already have and use the costume money to purchase new clothes. Needless to say they both opted to get new clothes and wore some of their ballet costumes we had laying around. I think everyone still looked great and we had a fun 1.5 mile trick or treat route that yielded full bags of candy.
This is the actual birthday picture.

My oldest baby turned 20 on Nov. 8. I cannot believe he is out of his teens. It seems like only yesterday he was 7. He wanted mexican food for his birthday so we went to El Fenix and then came home and ate a honey bun cake I had made. We gave him what every college kid needs.....money!
The kids table.

Yep, the first Thanksgiving Day casualty was mine. 

My nephew is a great photo bomber!

This year was the first Thanksgiving in 5 years that my husband did not work. Our normal routine had been to do a 5k then watch the parade and dog show while eating the take out I picked up the day before. This year we went to my in laws and had Thanksgiving with 19 people. it was wonderful. The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins and we got to catch with everyone and see how they were doing. I did not realize how much I missed a real Thanksgiving until we did it.
We are now all decorated and ready for the Christmas holidays. I can't wait for all the holiday fun!

The Bunch Have A Hard Week

This was actually part of T's present. He had been begging D to do it.😂 It only stayed around a short while. After throwing such a fun and memorable birthday party for T at the lake with his basketball buddies, we have decided to part ways with the basketball organization. I cannot get past that evil man being anywhere near us or people I care about. I did make sure to give everyone a fair warning about the evil man and they can now hopefully make an informed decision about their level of involvement with him. I don't think T's too bothered by it. He didn't want to play this year anyways, but I had originally really wanted him to be around his friends. I am not sure what we will do instead, but I know he is happy to NOT have to run. He hates running. I am basically just feeling completely defeated. I trust no one and have a complete LACK of faith in police officers and lawyers. I know my husband is a good officer, but that's about it and the count is on until June ...

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Enjoy Easter

The Bunch ready to head to church to celebrate Easter. We had a wonderful Easter. The kids and I dyed eggs together. T made a fairly intricate Guns N Roses logo egg while A and I just enjoyed making pretty eggs. We have discovered that using food coloring makes for way brighter eggs than using the horrible Easter egg dye kits from the store. I participated in the egg hunt with the kids this year. It was so much fun! We laughed so hard as we all ran around trying to beat each other. Afterwards, we had our traditional egg gravy and went to church. We enjoyed a ham dinner and watched HOP. It was a great day.  T worked a long time on this egg. It was by far the most intricate egg he has ever done. He did a fantastic job! T actually fell down (you can tell by grass on his knee), but he wasn't going to lose no matter what! We had so much fun and laughter! It was great!! All smiles on our way to church. It was a little early still for A. The week has been pretty good. Better than I though...
